Mad Men, Millionaires, and False Guns
Poem
Mad Men, Millionaires and False Guns
When the perpetrators stand it's time to punch them all
in the mouth
The map shows distinction, and my voice
find yourself there
A blonde is on a leash paying makeshift false demigods
in magistrate robes
Driving like minds wild
Door stops, foot steps, pathways straight in the leaves, and I can't tell if he's running after me or toward me
he's so far away
Dark waves descend
The light still shines through if you look up though
The more I turn my back the stronger I am
The sand of the future is scorching and I can't wait to feel it
Hold that feeling, hold that song, like it's the past tense of everything
because it is
The light is effervescent from here, it even says so in the clouds
look, see
There's a moment of forgiveness somewhere in the centre of it
but my bones don't know it
This blend of instruments is so intense and this song I can't stop
listening to reminds me of everything that I can't write here
Here it is again
Youthful starts, cross your heart, it's all fun and games until, y'know
Mad men, millionaires and false guns make the way clear
Every which way I turn
Mad men, millionaires and those with false guns run, run, run

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

The moment of forgiveness, but the bones don't know it. You gave me glimmers of hope then shrouded them, which sucked, but was also kind of great.
Sometimes when I read something I try and decipher what I think the author means. But then some works have to be viewed from the reader’s point of view. This is one of those. Mad men, millionaires, and false guns makes me think about those that are running the United States government at this current time. I don’t wanna get too deep into it but I am seeing very influential and rich people who are out there to promote and further the cause of other very wealthy people, such as billionaires, Under the guise of religion. They are elevating themselves up to demigod status and those that follow them are falling for it. I call them wolves in sheep’s clothing. That’s as far as I will go with this. This is well written Lisa. Good work!
